Customer Support Automation: Automating Customer Support Processes

Are you looking at customer support automation solutions to streamline your support processes?

In many industries, excelling in customer support is critical to the reputation and growth of an organisation with many SMEs placing large emphasis on exceeding agreed service levels.

Unfortunately, the physical process of customer service can create a large amount of manual employee administration which can detract from the actual time spent on resolving important issues. This is where automating key customer support processes can improve performance and reduce human error.

The downside of manual customer support processes:

Time-consuming, detracting employees away from solving issues

Data anomalies can occur, caused by human error

Costly administration process

Customer Support Automation: A working example using SAP Business One

If we take a look at technical industries as an example, it’s not uncommon for a provider to heavily focus on exceeding agreed service levels.

When a support call is usually logged with a technology company, typically the issue would have to be manually confirmed with the customer. In addition, customers often call in to see the status of their logged support request – further eating in to valuable time from support engineers.

How does customer support automation help this issue?

Customer notifications can be automatically created and sent to the customer informing them that their issue has been logged and investigated.

Notifications are automatically created and distributed to the customer with status updates and ‘issue resolved’ information.

Removing the repetitive process of informing customers that their support call has been logged enables support team members to gain an incremental amount of additional support time. Providing a high level of customer support in this manner, dynamically from SAP Business One, can have a substantial impact on employee productivity and provide substantial competitive gain.

In addition to the dynamic notification of support calls logged, customers can be dynamically informed when their support incident has been resolved. By pro-actively delivering information directly to the customer, support engineers are being further removed from time-consuming administration due to reduced inbound call volume.

This is just a snippet of how automation can assist support issues as the automation and creation of call issues within SAP Business One can be streamlined across the entire support call related activities and beyond to further enhance the support process.

The benefits of customer support automation include:

Full process automation of customer support processes

Removal of administration and associated manual data errors

Increased employee productivity

Reduced inbound status calls

Increased customer satisfaction
